Easter Weekend

We had a GREAT Easter weekend here!  It was gorgeous, 85 degrees and sunny, and we had Eric's mom come stay with us as well.  We had big plans  - we had to clean the house before his mom got here, we had all those plants to get into the ground, I had to learn how to cook an Easter meal (and set and Easter table - very important with my MIL - she loves table settings!) and of course we had to go to Church and properly celebrate the Resurrection! 

Saturday was mostly cleaning and preparing (grocery store, Target etc - btw - NEVER EVER go out shopping the day before Easter - its like Black Friday - CRAZY!  I had NO idea!)  Anyway, I waded through the crowds and got us some good food (and some gorgeous Liberty of London dishes for our Eater table!)

Sunday began the festivities with Church (why didn't I take a picture of us all dressed up?) and then gardening while the ham cooked...



We worked up an appetite with all that planting - and luckily I had prepared a gorgeous Easter feast (sorry - I was pretty dog gone proud of my table!)

Even some lovely fresh flowers

Last great accomplishment of the weekend, I finally can say I mastered the art of Sweet Tea.  :)


I am officially a hybrid now!  Hope y'all had a wonderful Easter as well.  We were certainly blessed!
